The next day, I woke up with a heavy chest, and of course, the little griffin Lucy, lay down on my chest, burying her beak in it.
I just put my hands on her and started petting her.
"System, are you there?"
[Always.]
"Okay, can you tell me why when I got characters before, I changed a little, but now everything seems fine?"
[This can be called a temporary side effect. When you get a character, you not only get skills, but also the knowledge that they have accumulated over their life. And some have a lot of them, so your consciousness turns to this knowledge, which manifests itself in you to one degree or another. For example, when you got Artoria, your behavior changed for a few days, you were more noble, but your personality did not change, it was just supplemented. But as you can see now, it's over, so there's nothing to worry about.]
When the system finished speaking, I was glad that it wouldn't affect my personality in any way, and it was only temporary.
Although, I think I'm Pendragon now, since Vivian said so, although I don't really know what to do with it.
Would it be weird if I met the real Artoria and said that I'm Pendragon? Well, at least it might be funny. I might even get into Fate and become a heroic spirit, hehe.
Or should I go to the world of magical girls?
A loli cat girl, saving the world from evil forces...
No, absolutely not, it sounds funny, but I can't shout out phrases like "Love and friendship will save the world", I'll die of embarrassment!
"Hungry!" I heard the girl's voice, and looked around the room.
I couldn't find the one who was speaking and looked at the griffin who was lying on my chest and looking at me.
"Lucy, did you say that?"
"Yes, Mom, I'm hungry!"
"Okay, then..."
MOM!!! WHAT THE FUCK
"Lucy, why are you calling me Mom?"
She looked at me with her head bowed, and it was so cute.
"Well, Mom is Mom." she replied.
Sigh. Besides the fact that she can talk, she also considers me her mom.
"But Lucy, I'm not your mom." I said and immediately regretted my words.
I saw how moisture was gathering in her eyes.
"Mom... doesn't love me anymore?" she asked me in a sad tone.
"No, no, what are you, Mom loves you very much, I'm sorry I said that." I said and hugged her.
So now I'm a mom? Well, if you add up my current age and the age of my past life, then purely in theory, I could have kids. But now I look like…
"Fran, are you up yet? Sakura, I made breakfast!" Luna said, knocking on the door.
"Yes, I'll be right there." I answered, then turned my attention back to Lucy.
"Okay, honey, shall we go eat?"
"YES, I want meat!" she exclaimed enthusiastically and flapped her wings.
Getting out of bed, I quickly got dressed and left the room, together with Lucy, in my arms, she was so warm that I didn't want to let her go.
"Good morning everyone." I said as soon as I entered the dining room.
"MEAT!" Lucy screamed, and of course everyone stopped dead in their tracks.
I just sighed and answered.
"Well, apparently our griffin can talk, and also… she considers me her mother…"
"WHAT?" everyone screamed except Acheron.
"Does that mean I'm a mother too?" Alpha wondered.
"And did I become an aunt?" Luna added.
"Oh my god, you two… No, I'm the only one, a mother. Alpha, for you to be considered her mother, we have to get married…"
"I agree!" Alpha exclaimed, interrupting me.
"Alpha, first of all, I haven't proposed to you, and secondly, we haven't even had a date!"
"Well, I don't know where to take you," she said.
"We'll decide that later, but for now let's go back. So when we get married, you'll automatically become her mother too, and you'll be Luna's aunt, just like Sakura, because she's like my sister." - well, not by blood, but she's the spirit of my soul weapon, so I guess that makes her my sister.
"I want to be a mother too." - Acheron spoke out of nowhere.
"WHAT!?" - everyone exclaimed again, including me.
"Why?" - I asked.
"Yeah, I won't let you take Fran!" - heh, someone's getting too possessive, not that I mind.
"What's wrong?" - she asked.
"No, at least not after me." - Alpha said.
"Yeah, the fact that she… I didn't get what that meant?" - I asked in shock.
"Don't be a fool, I saw you staring at her chest." Alpha said, making me blush
"Yeah, Fran, it was pretty noticeable, even though you were trying to be inconspicuous." Luna added
"Yeah, nothing bad will happen if you start a harem." Sakura said.
"Oh my god, I don't want a harem, I don't like them at all. Do you have any idea what a headache it would be for me to keep everyone in line so they don't kill each other out of jealousy."
"Well then just stop with Alpha and Acheron, if it's two people, then it should be fine! It's not a harem, it's just an extension of the relationship. And besides, Alpha suggested it herself."
"Hmm…" I looked at Acheron, who had been silent the whole time, and it would have been better if I hadn't done that.
She sat and kneaded her breast...
"Acheron? What are you doing?" I asked
"Trying to figure out why you like my breasts."
I felt my eyebrow twitch.
"Anyway, let's close the topic. I'm not dating anyone yet, so it's too early to talk about marriage and a second lover, although Alpha is not against it. And if it happens, it will only be with Acheron, no one else."
"Not 'if', but 'when'!" Sakura said
"Yeah, yeah, let's continue our breakfast." I said and tried to forget our conversation.
"Fran, do you want to go to the guild today?" Sakura asked me.
"Not really, I think we'll take the day off today. I want to see the pegasi, and go to the lake to talk to Vivian."
"Okay, then I'll stay in the castle, I need to train."
"Go ahead, just don't destroy the training ground like those two." I said, glaring at the culprits.
"Okay."
"Acheron, what are you going to do?"
"Hmm, I'll probably continue reading books on that comfortable chair." She said, making my eyebrow twitch.
She called the throne, which looks like a work of art, an ordinary chair…
You know what? Let her do what she wants, I don't care anymore!
"And I take it you'll come with me?"
"Yes!"(Alpha, Luna, Lucy.)
"Okay, let's go." I said, and we headed to the place where the pegasi lived…
"AAAAAA MY EYES!" I screamed.
"Well. what did you expect, they somehow hope to continue their lineage." - said Luna
"BUT THAT DOESN'T MEAN IT'S NICE TO LOOK AT."
This is not what I expected when I came to them…
These fucking horses with dove wings were mating, okay, I pressed Lucy to myself, shielding them with myself so that she would not receive mental trauma, and of course took all the damage on myself.
"Mom, why, we turned away."
"Honey, there uh…"
I didn't know what to say when one of these horses came up to us, and thank God, it was not the ones that were mating.
She came up to me, and Lucy, who was in my arms. She sniffed us, and fluttered her wings, bow before me.
I understand that this horse with wings considers me its own, the king, but why those…
It doesn't matter!
"Mom, can I climb on her?"
"She?"
"Yes, she's a girl, her name is Chloe."
"Oh, hi Chloe… So wait, do you understand her?"
"Yes, and you don't?"
"It doesn't matter, but of course you can." I said and Lucy happily fluttered her wings, flying up onto the pegasus's back.
I put my hand on it myself, and my god it was so soft, like a cloud, well, probably…
I left those two playing, and I sat down under the tree, and somehow, my head lay on Alpha's lap, is that the so-called lap pillow from anime? I always wanted to experience this. Luna, who was a little further away from us, was drawing, yes, she discovered a talent for painting, and was now drawing a beautiful landscape of a field, and fortunately those two pegasi had stopped mating, as I later found out they were Chloe's parents.
No, what the hell, fuck! Those two were doing it in front of their daughter. So what if they are horses, but they have a developed intellect, isn't that the worst thing.
"Alpha, look after Lucy, I'm going to the lake." I said, getting up from her lap, to which she looked upset.
"But..."
"Consider this practice to become a mother." I said, although I myself did not know what to do.
I never thought that I would have children, especially a griffin, but this is what we have.
Having reached the lake, I simply shouted her name.
"Young heir of Pendragon, you wanted to see me?" the woman said, emerging from the lake.
"Yes! What is this whole griffin thing, and how did it happen that I became her mother?" I asked, although I didn't mind, but still…
"This Griffin, a unique creature…"
"Why did you stop talking?"
She sighed and looked at me.
"In short, she was born from the union of a goddess and a griffin."
Fran.exe stopped answering.
"WHAT?"
"And how? I mean, you know…"
"Why not? The gods have their own ways."
"Okay, but… where are her parents?"
"Dead…"
"Because of what?"
"It's the same as always, the thirst for power! That griffin who took you as a mother, she's very unique… In the sense that if other gods absorbed her, they would become many leagues stronger."
"What a madhouse."
"Well, that's not the point, her mothers gave her to me, asking me to find her a home where she would be loved and safe. And I chose you, not only because of this place where no god can get to, but because of what you have inside, which allows you to become stronger and stronger."
"You mean the system?"
"Is that what you call it? The one who put this "system" in is so strong that he can destroy reality itself."
"The system, who did this."-I asked mentally.
[I can't say]-she answered briefly
I sighed and turned my attention back to the mistress of the lake.
"And the last question, you said "mother", how can she have two mothers?"
"Just like Arturia, Mordred was born, even though she didn't give birth. Magic!"
Sigh, well of course it always comes down to magical cocks, why can't it be any other way. No, if anyone is going to have a cock in our relationship it's only me, I won't let them...
Fucking Alpha, now I'm starting to see Acheron and me in this light...
"Fran!" I heard a scream
Luna ran up to me.
"There's Lucy, she's…"
I didn't hear what she said, I jumped up and ran back. I don't know why, but something clicked inside me, and I was scared that something would happen to her.
When I got to the place, I saw Alpha holding a girl of about 6 in her arms. The remarkable feature of this girl was the wings that grew from her back.
"I definitely didn't expect that…"
